Jonny Bairstow continued a brilliant year of run-scoring with a Test-best 167 not out against Sri Lanka at Lord’s on Friday. At stumps, Sri Lanka were 162 for one in reply to England’s first innings 416, a deficit of 254 runs. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka left-arm spinner Rangana Herath took an economical four for 81 in 36 overs. Silva took Sri Lanka to 150 with a sublime drive through extra-cover for four off Stuart Broad. Friday saw Bairstow receive good support from Woakes (66) in a seventh-wicket partnership of 144.
